Losing white space when identity transform

Hello,

So close on this.  I have some XHMTL... looks like this:

<f>We need to know just a little bit about you to get started.  Please
supply us with your first name, last name, and <b>(important)</b> a valid
email.</f>

I am transforming like this:

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

But am losing my white-space around the <b> elements... what is up with
that?  I know this has been discussed before.  Seems like there is a fix for
this.

Karl
